Johnson agreed to terms with the Rams on Saturday, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports.
EDGE Analysis
Johnson spent most of last season on Los Angeles' practice squad, but he did get into the team's Week 18 game against San Francisco, catching two of three targets for eight yards and scoring a touchdown. He also has played with Tampa Bay and Houston in his NFL career, and his most prolific season came with the Buccaneers in 2021, when he recorded 36 catches for 360 yards. The news of his re-signing was shared initially by his agency, though terms were not disclosed.

Johnson caught two passes for eight yards and a touchdown during the 2023 regular season.
EDGE Analysis
There was little opportunity for the fourth year wideout to produce, as the receiving corps as a whole for the Rams stayed relatively healthy apart from Cooper Kupp missing four games at the start of the year. Johnson was only activated from the practice squad once all season, earning his third touchdown in four seasons in the NFL with both the Rams and 49ers resting starters for the playoffs. Johnson is a restricted free agent in 2024, but with how little he was utilized by the Rams, he likely will have to find an opportunity elsewhere next season.

Johnson secured two of three targets for eight yards and a touchdown during Sunday's 21-20 victory against San Francisco.
EDGE Analysis
With the Rams resting players, Johnson was activated from the practice squad for the second time this season and made his first appearance in a game since 2022 count. Carson Wentz threw a dart to Johnson in the back of the end zone on a crucial third down, giving Johnson an eight-yard touchdown catch, his first score since his rookie campaign with Tampa Bay in 2020. The Rams are firmly entrenched with Cooper Kupp (coach's decision), Puka Nacua and Demarcus Robinson as their starters and have Tutu Atwell, Ben Skowronek and Austin Trammell as backups, so Johnson's time on the main roster this season is likely over barring an injury in the playoffs.

The Rams signed Johnson to the 53-man roster Tuesday.
EDGE Analysis
Johnson joined the Rams' practice squad Aug. 30 after failing to make the initial 53-man roster ahead of the deadline. His sole elevation came in Week 15 against the Commanders, but he was inactive for the game. Johnson last suited up in 2022 with the Texans when he played 28 offensive snaps over two games without recording a stat.

Johnson reverted to the Rams' practice squad Monday.
EDGE Analysis
Johnson was active, but he didn't play in Sunday's win over the Commanders. The wide receiver has yet to appear in a game this season and he'll now wait for his next shot to be elevated from the practice unit.

Johnson was elevated from the practice squad by the Rams on Saturday.
EDGE Analysis
The wide receiver was waived by the Rams on Aug. 30 after not making the 53-man roster, but he rejoined the team as a member of the practice squad. Johnson has yet to play in a game this season. The fourth-year pro remains buried behind a slew of healthy wide receivers on the Rams' depth chart in Cooper Kupp, Puka Nacua, Demarcus Robinson, Ben Skowronek and Austin Trammell.

The Rams signed Johnson to their practice squad, Stu Jackson of the Rams' official site reports.
EDGE Analysis
Despite being waived by the Rams after not making the 53-man roster, Johnson will rejoin the team as a member of their practice squad. The wideout will continue to practice with the team and be available in the event that the Rams need him.

The Rams waived Johnson on Tuesday, Stu Jackson of the Rams' official site reports.
EDGE Analysis
Johnson had a stellar performance during the Rams' preseason opener but declined over the next two exhibition matchups and was unable to land a spot on the 53-man roster. The Minnesota product appeared in just two games with the Texans last year and will now need to seek out other opportunities.

Johnson caught two of three targets for six yards in Saturday's 41-0 preseason loss to the Broncos.
EDGE Analysis
Drawing the start alongside fellow roster bubble candidate Demarcus Robinson, Johnson was unable to do much with his trio of targets on a night the Rams offense as a whole failed at every level. Ben Skowronek notably got the night off, a sign coach Sean McVay is sold on him making the 53-man roster. This would make Skowronek the fifth wideout on the team along with Cooper Kupp, Van Jefferson, Tutu Atwell and Puca Nacua. The Rams did keep seven wide receivers on their roster last year, but if they choose to add more depth at other positions, Robinson's utility at multiple roles in the offense might give him a slight edge over Johnson for what could be the final wide receiver slot on the team.

Johnson caught three of seven targets for 35 yards during Saturday's 34-17 preseason loss to the Raiders.
EDGE Analysis
It was a game of highs and lows for the 24-year-old, as he snared a 24-yard dart from Stetson Bennett during a second-quarter drive that led to a field goal, but was also part of a blown play between himself and the rookie quarterback that led to a pick-six for the Raiders. The good news for Johnson is that he still led all Rams' wide receivers in yardage and tied with Demarcus Robinson for targets, a sign the duo signed in free agency are being given ample opportunity to secure a spot on the final 53-man roster. Johnson will have one final opportunity to showcase his abilities in the Rams' preseason finale against the Broncos.
